Implemented automatic ranging of Alt Hold gains. Works well in simulator and testing.
- alt hold estimation moved to 50 hz
- simple fixed observer calc for smooth and accurate climb rates useful for derivative calcs
- auto-reset of the I term by moving I value into throttle value. This recalcs the gain every 20seconds for battery drainage compensation in long flights.
- remove filtering for Nav_throttle
- added a way to lower the gain on nav_throttle for descents by / climb_rate error by 2 - seems to work OK and keeps copter from dropping like a rock when the Baro drifts quickly lower.
- removed old throttle hold set point code
- made throttle override for alt hold +- 200 vs 250

Rescale TradHeli roll_out and pitch_out into the min and max ranges to provide linear motion across the input range instead of stopping when the input hits the constrain value. These calculations are based on an assumption of the user specified roll_max and pitch_max coming into this equation at 4500 or less, and based on the original assumption of the total g.heli_servo_x.servo_out range being -4500 to 4500.

Hi Pat,
This may have been my WIP for the Mavlink 1.0 conversion. I tried to
give Tridge a head start on it. I've made small updates to it in
parallel to the current Mavlink. You can delete it as he would have used
it by now if he felt it was helpful.

The second was to open up the constraint on climb rate. This is to deal with larger than expected disturbances causing altitude changes.

this disables the compass in DCM if MAG_ENABLE is changed in
flight. Without this we would use a fixed yaw once the compass is
disabled
This also makes sure we don't pass the compass to DCM till we have
done a read. This ensures we have a good compass fix for the initial
DCM heading
